Maintenance Plan Items• As part of this update process, a number of items
have already been flagged as being allocated to the respective EP maintenance plans
Maintenance Plan: 1
• Short-term & Long-term• We need a plan that can be implemented now!• But with well thought through ideas ready to be
used if/when funds/support become available.
Maintenance Plan: 2
• Current Proposal for EPs• EPs to continue their work in much the same
way. But...• Capture GB updates in a standardised way• Capture “development” ideas in a
standardised way• ... and report these in a short annual workplan.
Maintenance Plan: 3a
• Other Priority Proposals• Better defined roles and responsibilities– TFEIP Executive– TFEIP Committee (Exec + EP Leaders)– EP Leaders– EEA- publishers of the Guidebook
Maintenance Plan: 3b
• Other Priority Proposals• Encourage greater participation/ support
from parties• EMEP SB “... invited the Task Force to present to it
at its thirty-third session a draft maintenance plan specifying tasks, responsibilities and estimated cost for the Guidebook maintenance”
• EMEP SB... “Called upon the Parties to the EMEP Protocol to consider making voluntary contributions to guarantee the provision of up-to date and good quality data;
Maintenance Plan: 3c
• Other Priority Proposals• Seek additional support for Comb & Ind. EP• Encourage greater participation in specific EPs
from industry• Further investigate the proposed EFDB work
by SYKE
Maintenance Plan: 4
• Longer-Term• Use the “development” plans to encourage
more participation/support• Look into opportunities of arranging more
centralised funding & party contributions.• We need to review the EP structure (a focal
point for Waste would be helpful).• We need to review whether an internet forum,
or EP e-mails would be helpful.
AIR POLLUTANT EMISSION FACTOR LIBRARY
Not possible to include all countries’ all sources/techniques/conditions/emissions in a GB Use of EFs that better reflect national conditions instead of defaults is encouraged
WOULD BE A COLLECTION OF REFERENCES FOR DEVELOPING NATIONAL EFs AND DISCOVERING SOURCES/EMISSIONS NOT YET INCLUDED especially in the energy / industrial processes/ solvent&product use sectors
WOULD INCLUDE EFs with• SOURCE, PROCESS TECHNIQUE + ABATEMENT INFO• COUNTRY/REGION where used• REFERENCES TO DOCUMENTATION • CAN EXCLUDE or INCLUDE GB VALUES (with clear reference/status indication)
No resources needed or extra work for the EPs SYKE offers to do the job with support from existing tasks e.g. OECD PRTR Resource Centre & communicate with other corresponding work (IPCC, EGTEI,..
Maintenance Plan: 5

Recap
• All GB Chapters should now be at an acceptable quality standard– Please discuss details in the EP meetings
• A maintenance plan with few changes can be used now– First stages to be trialled in the EP meetings
• We have longer term ideas and aims, which are dependent on more support/funding– Please suggest other ideas in EPs or Plenary
